The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 347 - Brother Is Relying On A Higher Power

After walking along the street for a while, he suddenly smelled a waft of soy sauce not far away.

Following the scent, he reached a shop specializing in roasted chicken.

After the various shops in the city closed one after another, Feng Yu Die had been looking for roasted chicken all over the place these days. Yesterday, she even set up a grill in the backyard of the inn and roasted it herself.

Ye Anping hesitated for a while, but he had to buy some and take it back to her to save her from fussing all day about eating roasted chicken.

The owner of the roasted chicken shop was an old cultivator at the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage. However, his temples were gray and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked like he was around sixty years old. At this moment, he was facing away from him, pickling an old hen that had just been plucked.

Ye Anping took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and knocked on the wooden table. "Boss, roast two chickens."

The old cultivator turned around and looked at Ye Anping a little surprised, but seeing that he was in the late stage of the Foundation Building, he smiled and bowed. "Please wait a moment, Senior. It will take a while to roast. How about you tell me a place and I will send it to you later?"

"It's okay, I'll wait."

The old man quickly put two marinated roasted chickens into the oven and wiped his hands on his waistband. Then, he came over, put the spirit stones into his purse, and kindly reminded him. "Senior, you should leave the city as soon as possible. I heard yesterday that the Demon Clan is less than ten miles away. They will probably enter the city in a few days. A handsome young man like you will definitely be captured by them to serve as a soldier."

"Why haven't you left then?"

"Eh? I'm so old now, where can I go if I leave? Sigh--" With a melancholic look on his face, the old cultivator shook his head. "Here are my roots. I've been selling roasted chicken in this city for most of my life. How can I just leave?"

"Aren't you afraid that the Demon Clan will kill all the human cultivators when they enter the city?"

"Let them kill. Ten years more or less, what's the difference?"

The old cultivator seemed to be indifferent to life and death. He waved his hand nonchalantly and continued, "But the Demon King actually entered Heavenly Gate City on his own and even killed the Emperor of the Central Region. Who could have expected that? One of the Five Sages of the Immortal Family suddenly died. In my opinion, the four regions will be in chaos in the future."

Ye Anping listened in silence, then replied, "This is a bit too pessimistic. I don't think this is a bad thing."

"Oh?" The old cultivator raised his eyebrows. "Why do you say that, Senior?"

"Throughout history, it's not unusual for a new king to replace the old king within a generation. It's just that the longevity of cultivators makes this cycle of change quite a bit longer."

"You mean to say that... the Demon King won't kill the human cultivators in the city?"

"Although the demons are beasts in form and most of them are brutal, they are not much different from humans. They still have six desires, seven emotions, eight sufferings, and nine difficulties. I think that in the future, Heavenly Gate City will probably become an Immortal city where beasts and humans live together."

"Humans and demons have a deep blood feud. How can this thousand-year grudge be over just like this?"

Ye Anping looked toward the west of the city and saw that many of the Justice Division officers had already rushed over there on their flying swords. He smiled. "Of course, it's not just like that, but it will happen gradually. Boss, you might as well prepare more roast chickens and sell them to the demons after they enter the city. Roasted chicken is the hard currency among the demons, second only to spirit stones."

The old cultivator was a little confused after listening to this. He turned around, took the roasted chickens out of the oven with an iron hook, wrapped them in oilcloth, then handed them to Ye Anping. "May I ask what your name is, Senior?"

"Liang Xiaoliu."

"Then, I will remember what Senior Liang said. If that really happens, if you come to my shop to eat roasted chicken in the future, it will be all on me."

Ye Anping smiled, took the two chickens, and turned to leave.

He hadn't gone far down the street when the sound of war drums rang out at the western gate of the Heavenly Gate City.

Dum-Dum-Dum---

The sound of drums shook the sky and the earth, making the whole city tremble.

Ye Anping stopped to take a look and saw countless beast-headed demon soldiers stepping into the city with "fox" flags. He didn't linger much and hurried back to the Flowing Moon Inn.

Yue Xuanming had come to him before to inquire what he meant to do, and Ye Anping told him what the Justice Division was going to do according to Si Xuanji's script:

---After the Demon King and the Demon Clan entered the city, Yue Xuanming leading the Justice Division would come forward to greet them and ask the Demon King to help unify the remaining disciples of the Imperial Sect.

The original eighteen military branches of the Imperial Sect, such as the Red Division, were transferred to the Justice Division, and a human cultivators sect was to be established within the Demon Clan to help the Demon King govern the Central Region.

Since the script was very short, there was a problem with the details.

However, this had nothing to do with Ye Anping.

After all, the Central Region would become the territory of the Demon Clan, and Demon King Hu Mu would become the nominal master.

As for why he was the "nominal" master of the Central Region?

That's because the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal ended up in his hands.

Only those who possessed the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal could mobilize the spiritual energy of the mountains and earth in the Central Region at will. Originally in the game, the Heavenly Seal was in Feng Yu Die's possession, which was another great opportunity for her.

Ye Anping originally wanted to give the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal to Si Xuanji a few days ago, but Si Xuanji said that he should keep it with him temporarily and that she would borrow it when she needed it in the future.

After that, Ye Anping decided to give it to Feng Yu Die.

But Feng Yu Die turned tail and ran away after hearing that she needed to let herself be bitten by nine dragons to change the Nine Dragons Heavenly Seal ownership.

He had no choice but to put the Heavenly Seal in his storage bag and prepare to find a place to bury it after returning to the Hundred Lotus Sect. After all, the spiritual power of this thing was too great. He put several storage bags inside the storage bag, but he couldn't completely hide the spiritual energy naturally released by it.

After all, it was known that Nangong City used a special recipient to contain the spiritual power of the Heavenly Seal.

Having the Nine Dragons Seal would be like holding a torch in the next room at night. A cultivator with a good sense of observation could directly notice its presence from a hundred miles away.

While lost in these thoughts, Ye Anping, carrying the two roasted chickens, reached the street where Flowing Moon Inn was located.

The innkeeper of Flowing Moon Inn also ran away with the waiter a few days ago, and now the whole street was deserted. At noon, only a few scattered cultivators could be seen wandering on the street.

Ye Anping pushed the door of the inn, walked into the hall, and saw that no one was there, so he shouted, "Sister Feng, I've bought roasted chicken. Come down and eat it while it's hot."

Shortly after Ye Anping spoke, there was the sound of a door opening and a flurry of footsteps on the second floor.

Stomp, stomp, stomp...

Feng Yu Die jumped down from the railing on the second floor. Her hair was messy, and it seemed that she had just woken from a nap.

Seeing the chicken in Ye Anping's hand, she grabbed it casually. "Roasted chicken! Where did you buy it? I walked around all day yesterday and didn't see any for sale in the city."

"There's an old cultivator down on Long Jade Street who's been selling roasted chicken for decades."

"Oh! Thank you, Master Ye!"

Feng Yu Die grinned at Ye Anping and, holding the two roasted chickens, she jumped upstairs again, going back to her room to eat.

Ye Anping sighed tiredly and went to the side to pour a cup of tea, ready to pack up and leave Heavenly Gate City with his sister and the others.

Just as he sat down, the door of a room in the corner of the second floor was pushed open again.

Liang Zhu and Tong Zilan walked down from the side room.

Liang Zhu was still wearing the golden robe of the Justice Division, but Tong Zilan had changed into a water-blue silk dress.

Although the silk dress was in the style of a rogue cultivator, and the material was not that good, she still had an unconcealable "nobility", perhaps because of a hundred years of being the Empress.

Tong Zilan smiled and nodded to Ye Anping. "Young Master Ye, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Ye Anping took out two new teacups and poured tea for them. "The Demon Clan just entered the city. I plan to leave in a few days. What have you decided?"

"We will follow your arrangements."

"Then, let's go when my sister and the others come back. Flying with the swords, we should be able to reach the town by nightfall."

Ye Anping lifted his teacup to take a sip when he suddenly noticed that his big brother Liang was looking at him with resentful eyes.

Ye Anping was taken aback and asked, "Brother Liang, what's the matter?"

"..."

Liang Zhu silently took out a jar of red wine and three porcelain bowls from his storage bag, poured the wine into them, and then moved a table and lit red candles on it.

?

Ye Anping looked at this familiar scene, feeling a little puzzled.

When he, Liang Zhu, and the other four brothers became sworn brothers, Liang Zhu also took out this set of things from the storage bag.

After Liang Zhu prepared everything, he turned around with a frown. "Come here, let's become sworn brothers and sisters."

Ye Anping froze and glanced at the three porcelain bowls filled with wine on the table.

Three...

He immediately turned to look at Tong Zilan.

Tong Zilan covered her mouth and chuckled, then stood up and cupped her hands in an official manner, saying, "Young Master Ye, I will be your sworn sister from now on. I hope Sixth Brother will take good care of me."

"..."

Ye Anping turned to look at Liang Zhu with twitching eyes, but what he got was a disdainful smile.

"That's how it is, come over here..."

"So... Brother Liang, you and Sister Tong have discussed this?"

Tong Zilan nodded and replied, "Well, Ating's identity as the Second Princess will be buried in Heavenly Gate City with the demise of the Imperial Sect. She has never seen me since she was born. If I suddenly tell her that I am her biological mother, she would find it strange. So... I thought that, although we are related by blood, having the chance of raising her is good enough. Besides, it's not good to let her know that her biological father abandoned her in order to advance on the Path."

Ye Anping shrugged slightly, walked to the altar made by Liang Zhu, and picked up a bowl of wine. "Since you have discussed it with Brother Liang, I won't say more."

The three of them lined up from tallest to shortest, swore the traditional oath, then drank the wine, slammed the bowls down, and bowed three times to the candlesticks.

Crunch---

When Ye Anping was about to sit back down, Liang Zhu touched his shoulder, squeezing it hard. "Sixth Brother."
